welcome to

Mark's thoughts

aha, a totally blank mind?

time permitting we'll be posting some short stories.  nothing current and not here,

but for a little poem.

 

[untitled]

I never thought the war would be

never thought its end within me.

didn't conceive of my enemies' conspiricies

their identities concealed, their duplicity;

the loneliness imposed.

 

comes a time when these three

at once I, myself, me

belay the travesty of depravities, indignities

of those standing with and against me;

the isolation confirmed.

 

for once he gains upon himself

with bearing once he knew was his

perchance he may then lay alone

but not without integrity, a soul. what is

this vision revealed?

 

yeah, yeah, yeah.  well, some of us drink because we're not poets...
